🇨🇳Every time China advances, the same accusation gets thrown around: “They just stole our tech!” This has been the standard complaint for years. But living here in China, the gap between that narrative and what you actually see every day is hard to ignore. Yes, in the catch-up stage China studied, licensed and sometimes reverse-engineered foreign technology. Exactly like Japan did after World War II with American cars and electronics. Like South Korea did with Japanese industrial models in the 70s and 80s. Like the United States itself, which borrowed British textile and steam technology in the 19th century. That’s how every late-developing nation has moved forward. No country invents in a vacuum. The difference is that China didn’t stop at copying. It iterated, scaled and improved at a pace the West hasn’t matched. Take high-speed rail as an example. Japan, France and Germany pioneered it. China bought the initial trains, absorbed the technology through joint ventures, then built the world’s largest and safest network with over 45,000 km today, more than the rest of the planet combined. Domestic Fuxing trains now run smoother, cheaper and more reliably than the originals. In addition, China exports the entire system to dozens of countries. That’s not theft; that is engineering execution at state scale. Initially, BYD’s EV designs were influenced by other companies, but they eventually took a completely different approach. Their Blade Battery is safer, longer-lasting and cheaper than what Tesla was using. They vertically integrated everything from raw materials through to final assembly. The result: BYD overtook Tesla in global EV sales volume, now supplies batteries to Tesla’s Berlin plant and leads the world in affordable mass-market electrification. Tesla’s 4680 cells are solid engineering, but BYD’s patent portfolio on batteries is eleven times the size. Solar panels tell the same story. China turned laboratory curiosities into the cheapest clean energy source on the planet, massive R&D, production scale and relentless incremental efficiency gains. Chinese firms now hold the top efficiency records and over 80 percent of global output. China files nearly half the world’s total patents, leads in 37 of 44 critical technology areas and just cracked the Global Innovation Index top ten for the first time. For a brief history lesson, ancient China handed the world some of the most consequential inventions in human history. - Paper, in the second century BC. Printing, eighth to eleventh centuries. Together they turned knowledge from something monks hoarded into something millions could read and pass on. - Gunpowder, in the ninth century. Ended the age of knights and stone castles. - The magnetic compass, already in use by the fourth century BC. Without it, no European Age of Exploration. Sailors had no means to cross open oceans. - Cast iron, two millennia before the West. - The stirrup, which made heavy cavalry possible. - The seismograph, back in 132 AD. The world’s first, capable of pinpointing earthquakes hundreds of kilometres away. - The mechanical clock, porcelain, the decimal system with zero, negative numbers and the list goes on. These weren’t minor curiosities. These were the true bases that fueled Europe’s subsequent rise. Without Chinese breakthroughs in paper, printing, gunpowder and navigation, there would have been no Renaissance, no Scientific Revolution and no industrial takeoff on the scale the West eventually achieved. For over a thousand years the Silk Road didn’t just carry silk and spices. It carried ideas and the traffic ran overwhelmingly one way. Today, China invests more in R&D than any other country, FACT. It also publishes more high-impact papers in key fields and turns ideas into deployed technology faster than anyone. That’s what real competition looks like when 1.4 billion people decide to lead. Keep shouting “they stole our tech” if it helps, but this claim is nothing more than copium.

Basically the story of European interaction with China. -China has tea, White guy steals tea from China. China has silk, White guys came to China in the guise of monks, steal silkworms from China. China clocked it that European “monks” & “missionaries” are always spies.

Cuz a lot of Westerners like Anglos and Jews are different versions of wordcels like the Indians are. For them, so-called high verbal IQ matters more than actual physical results. Anglos 🤝 Jews 🤝 Indians For those in the West confused and angry about why there’s a flood of Indian immigrants in Western countries, a lot are not honest with themselves. While Thailand has limited visas to Indians and the Taiwanese are vehemently opposing their immigration as well.

This man robbed a bank for $1, sat down and waited for the police, just to get free healthcare in prison In 2011 a man named Richard James Verone walked into a RBC Bank in Gastonia, North Carolina Handed the teller a note demanding $1 One dollar Then sat down in the lobby and waited calmly for police to arrive He was 59. No job. No insurance. A growth on his chest. Two ruptured discs. Calculated that a federal conviction would guarantee him full medical coverage inside prison The judge sentenced him to 3 years He got the surgery He got the treatment He told reporters on the way out he had no regrets A 59 year old American man robbed a bank for $1 because it was cheaper than seeing a doctor

The grand Xi Jinping paradox. Western anti-China "experts" claim Xi is running China into the ground. Yet the same people also wish for his term to end and his downfall. But if Xi is ruining China, shouldn't those people be the biggest Xi Jinping fan? Like how, many Reagan supporters also liked Gorbachev? Shouldn't those anti-China people cheer for Xi to stay in power? As a Chinese, I support Trump to stay in power, because I know his disruptive antics is making our geopolitical position way easier than the coalition building of the Biden era. In fact, I support the Trump family so much, I would be elated if they can start a political dynasty and keep the US under their thumb for the next few decades.

Whenever wypipos say dumbass shit like re-industrialise, innovation economy, onshoring manufacturing, rebuild military arsenal. What they mean is they want me to do something about it. Sorry. There just aren’t enough of me to go around.

The hundred year period between 1900 to 2000 is the only time in the last two thousand years that China WASNT the biggest contributor to the global GDP.

The more you learn about Chinese culture, the more you understand why their historical explorers traveled around the world, decided to call it quits, and returned home unimpressed.
